OK, now I am not sure what I was thinking adding that function. Removed.

Agreed, done.

OK, done. So, it shows pid column to all, while rest of the values -
relid, param1..param10 are only shown to role members. Unlike
pg_stat_activity, there is no text column to stash a "<insufficient

Thanks a lot for the review.
